A delightful and easy-to-make treat for Easter using puff corn and colorful candy melts.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 340 grams candy melts in preferred pastel color (optionally divided between colors)
  • 2 teaspoons butter-flavored shortening
  • 113 grams puffed corn snack
  • Easter-themed decorative sugar sprinkles, as needed

Instructions

  1. Place the puffed corn snack into a large mixing bowl, ensuring it is evenly spread and free from clumps.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the candy melts with the butter-flavored shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, thoroughly stirring after each round, until the mixture is completely smooth.
  3. Pour the melted candy mixture over the puffed corn. If using more than one color, repeat this coating step for each color used.
  4. Stir the puffed corn gently with a spatula until every piece is well coated, or cover the bowl and shake until evenly combined.
  5. Spread the coated puffed corn in a single layer on wax paper. Immediately sprinkle generously with decorative Easter sprinkles.
  6. Allow the coated puffed corn to set on the wax paper until the coating has hardened. Transfer to an airtight container for storage once fully set.
